Load in ANSYS Structural

Load in ANSYS Structural

There is list of load available in ANSYS structural analysis

1. Force


3. Moment








Line Pressure

Line pressure is equal to uniformly distributed load (UDL). It have unit load per unit length. Generally we use unit KN/m.
In ANSYS, for 3D simulation, a line pressure load applied a distributed force on one edge only.

Bearing Load

When a shaft rest on a component, then it exert the load on that component. That load is called bearing load. On the basis of that load, supporting part are known as bearing. Bearing load have two component
  • Radial load
  • Axial load

Radial load act perpendicular to the axis of rotation, while axial (thrust) load acts parallel to the axis of rotation.
In ANSYS, the bearing load boundary condition analyze radial force only. It will be applied on the interior face of a cylinder in the radial direction. If you will apply a portion of the load to be in axial direction, the solver stops the solution and issues an appropriate error message.
When you apply bearing load on different circle, then the load will be distributed equally as proportion of area.

Remote Force

Remote force is a type of force, which act a force as well as produce some effect of moment. It produce effect on a point of a face or edge without creating point on that.
In ANSYS, the remote force boundary condition is equivalent to a regular force load on a face or a force load on an edge, plus some moment. The advantage of using a remote force is that you can directly specify the location in space from which the force originates. A remote force is classified as a remote boundary condition.
A remote force boundary condition can be applied to a face, edge or vertex of a 3D model or to an edge or vertex of a 2D model.
